55 & Better Adult Program at the Wellington Chew Senior Center
Once a week on Wednesdays, Machelle Wood and volunteers travel to the Wellington Chew Senior Ceneter to speak with seniors and record their stories. Their experiences have brought history to life! Volunteers Victoria and Veronica join educators Martín López and Machelle Wood to help record their history. They met military officers, civil rights activists, nurses, and homemakers. Every week is a new peek into the many facets of the human experience. This is an ongoing program, so if you would like to volunteer and assist in collecting these amazing stories, contact Gloria Garza at 915-533-5147 or email her at Gloria.Garza@thc.texas.gov.
These activities aim to foster mental and physical well-being, strengthen community ties, and engage the largest demographic group in the United States.
